Systems and Methods for Medical Imaging Shape Measurements

There has been much research into developing learning methods on non-Euclidean domains such as point clouds, various meshes and graphs. However, very few have studied CNNs on tetrahedral meshes, which are highly useful in medical imaging applications. Tetrahedral meshes have millions of edges and vertices and existing graph convolutional networks are...

Framework for Enhancing Retinal Color Fundus Images

Non-mydriatic retinal color fundus photography (CFP) is widely used in clinical settings, primarily because it doesn’t require pupillary dilation. However, CFP has quality issues due to operator errors, imperfections and patient-related causes. Further, medical providers often have difficulty collecting paired low-high quality CFP. Most denoising...

Method for Measuring Human Vision Cortical Magnification Factor

In human vision, varying amounts of neural resources are devoted to visual fields. Retinotopic mapping uses fMRI to give a projection of the visual field and its cortical representation in a subject. Cortical magnification factor (CMF) is a common measure of the ratio of the cortical areas devoted to each region of the visual field, to show visual acuity...

Self-neutralizing air-breathing thruster and method of neutralization

An ion-engine is the cutting edge for atmospheric air-breathing engines. The technology depends on ionizing and neutralizing atmospheric air particles which create thrust. This unique possibility makes it an ideal choice for very-low-orbit satellites. Very- low-orbit satellite capabilities have benefits such as higher resolution for images, weight...

Non-Invasive Plasma Discharge Tube Device for Treating Brain Tumors

Treating brain tumors, like glioblastoma, is challenging. Current glioblastoma drugs, Rapamycin and Temozolomide (TMZ), generally only extend life for a matter of months, are not very effective in treating recurring tumors, and have significant clinical toxicity. A novel Plasma Discharge Tube (PDT) device has the potential to be more effective and less...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids

The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...

Cold atmospheric plasma-stimulated media for treating cancers

For successful cancer therapy, the most important aspect is selective eradication of cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cells and normal cells have different thresholds for tolerance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) before cell death (apoptosis) is induced. Previously, GW researchers invented a cold...

System for Quantification of Human Sensory Cortical Areas

Sensory maps of the human brain are of great scientific interest and could have important medical applications. The sensory areas of the brain, including the auditory cortex, visual cortex, and more, contain topographical representations of the sensory space. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals can produce subject-specific cortical...
